ABOUT THIS BEET CHIPS
Homemade Beet chips are simply the best and I mean it! You do not require any prior experience or skills for making them at home. These Chips are super addictive - I can certainly vouch that you just can’t stop with One! Sometime last year when we visited our friends for dinner, they had offered us a portion of the Root Vegetable Chips. It had Turnips, Beetroot, Carrots, Sweet Potato etc.. We all loved it so much that we had to request them for more. After a while, the host brought the tub of these crunchy onto the table. Believe it or not - the whole tub was gone in a few minutes amongst 10 of us. Scanning through the label we realised it was from Costco and it was on popular demand thereafter. Since they do mega size portions, buying them regularly never happened . But our love for these root vegetable chips always lingered around. Making these easy Beet Chips have been on my list for a while and it happened the very next day. Trust me they were all nearly gone the same day leaving only 1 portion, just for the pictures. I had to Shoo my husband away when he actually reached out to the last lot. We did not have any guilt of gobbling any of these chips as they were absolutely healthy and we know what went into it. In fact, these chips have gone up onto my weekly menu for the following week. Isn’t it great news!! I have made these Beet Chips in my Instant Pot Duo Crisp Airfryer & Philips Viva Air fryer on numerous occasions - these are amazing! Now my daughter calls them Instant Pot Beetroot Chips as I resort to my Instant Pot, most of the time.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED
You only need 3 ingredients to make beetroot chips, irrespective of the method Beetroot - Raw beet is all you need. Have you tried this Immune Boosting Beetroot Carrot Juice with any extra beet you may have? Oil - Any oil works . You can use olive oil or avocado oil or even oil spray. Salt - Cracked Sea salt is my preference, however table salt is also great.
HOW DO YOU MAKE AIR FRYER BEET CHIPS STEP BY STEP
Prepare the Beetroot for the Chips - Wash the beet well to remove any soil on it. Dry the beet and peel the skin. Beet can leave out some color on your hands, so wash your hands immediately after you peel it. I really don’t mind about it. Alternatively Lemon Juice or Vinegar works. You can also wear gloves for this process. Slice the Beetroot Thin - Using a Mandolin Slicer, slice the beetroot thin to 1/16th inch thickness. You can also slice it thin using a knife ( if you have steady hands ). I can highly recommend investing in a mandolin slicer - they are great for slicing!
Season and Serve - Season with Sea Salt & Black Pepper & serve.Enjoy guilt free snacking!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRO TIPS TO MAKE BEET CHIPS
It is extremely important to keep the thickness consistent for the chips. If the thickness are not the same, you will find some chips are fried quicker than the rest. If the beet slices are too thick, the initial dehydrating time will be longer. Method will still remain the same.
DO I NEED TO PREHEAT MY AIR FRYER?
Well the answer is No! You do not need to preheat the Air fryer. In this case, cooking time for the dish can be slightly longer than when you preheat it. When I was making Beet Chips before, I used to preheat the air fryer. But I don’t see any difference whether I preheat or not. It also makes it easier to arrange your meal in the air fryer basket without getting hot / burnt. If you decide to preheat the air fryer, cooking time needed might be slightly lesser. I have tried so many recipes where I used to preheat the air fryer. But honestly I really could not justify for most of the dishes.
HOW TO MAKE BAKED BEET CHIPS
Prepare the beetroot similarly as for the air fryer. Preheat the oven to 200 C/ 400F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the beetroot thins separately without overlapping on the parchment paper. Bake for 10 -15 minutes in the lowest rack until they dry out and you don’t see shiny spots.Beet Chips will crisp as they cool on the pan. Even if you hate Beet, try one - you will love it - Beetroot Chips !!
